Land use and land cover changes is one of the driving factor of global environmental change which is hotly debated and reflect the changes in development that occurs at a location. This study was conducted to analyze the changes in land use of UKM Bangi campus and Bandar Baru Bangi for 1990 and 2016. The remote sensing and GIS application were used to examine the land use changes. Data used in this study consist of two Landsat satellite imagery, which were taken from Landsat 5 TM (1990), and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS (2016). Based on selected Landsat images the supervised classification process was applied to classify the land use types of the study area. Land uses have been divided into seven categories; built-up area, palm oil, forest, rubber, recreational, cleared land and water bodies. Accuracy assessment was carried out by using Kappa Koefficient calculation to test the reliability of the thematic maps. The Kappa Koefficient value of 70% was achieved and it indicates high reliability. The result of the study found that built-up area increased the most (2130.84 ha), followed by the forest (469.44 ha). Both land use increased by 32.92% and 7.25% respectively. Whereas oil palm land use decreased the most (1385.01 ha), followed by water bodies (124.38 ha) where both declined 21.40% dan 1.92% respectively. The majority of palm oil and rubber plantations were converted to built-up land use. The study shows that remote sensing approach is suitable for the study of land use and land cover changes.
